Only Images in Browse Inputs?

[ShoeLace1291]

How do I make it so my image browse input only allows users to select image files?

[textbox]

Could you explain this a little more please?!?

I have a form that allows users to upload files but I want them to only be able to upload image files such as GIF, JPG, JPEG, PNG, etc.  How do I do this?

You can't exert any control over what someone attempts to upload. What you can control is what happens to files they upload (to your server's /temp folder).  Process images - assuming that's what you want - and do nothing with non-images.  When the browser session ends, all files in the /temp folder will be discarded.

In my upload scripts there is a clause as to what the file will allow.

Such as;

 

//allowed Extensions
$limitedext = array(".gif",".jpg",".png",".jpeg",".bmp");

 

This allows me to limit what they can upload.

 

As AndyB says, you cant stop them from trying, but you can return them an error if, say, they tried to upload a .pdf or .doc
